Adaptasi terhadap kondisi ekstrem

Tubuh manusia mengalami stress paling ringan dan berkondisi paling sehat jika menerima cukup asupan
makanan dan cairan, serta berada dalam lingkungan nyaman dengan suhu yang sedang, tekanan udara
normal. Dan grativasi standar namun tubuh memiliki kemampuan menakjubkan unruk mengatasi kondisi-
kondisi ekstrem, baik dalam jangka pendek menggunakan tanggapan darurat ataupun melalui adaptasi
bertahap lingkungan baru.

Kisaran suhu

Beraneka ragam proses dan perubahan kimiawi di dalam tubuh 36,5-37,5 oc (97,7-99,5of). sebagai bagian
dari kemampuannya untuk menyeimbangkan dan mempertahankan kondisi-kondisi internal, disebut
homeostatis, tubuh memiliki reaksi-reaksi otomatis yang dikenal sebagai termoregulasi (lihat hal. 30).
Reaksi-reaksi ini antara lain pelebaran pembuluh darah kulit saat suhu hangat atau penyempitanketika
suhu dingin. Kita juga memiliki respon-respon perilaku misalnya mengenakan pakaian lebih tebal
sewaktu kedinginan atau mencari tempat teduh ketika panas. Namun begitu suhu inti tubuh melenceng
lebih dari sekitar1,5oc (2,7 of) untuk waktu yang cukup lama, mulai terjadi reaksi-reaksi yang lebih jauh
dan lebih drastic, dan kerusakan dapat terjadi. Seseorang dinyatakan hipotermia bila suhu intinya 35 oc (95
o
f) atau lebih rendah yang tidak memadai untuk metabolisme normal. Serupa dengan itu hipertemia
dimulai ketika suhu inti naik lebih daripada sekitar 1 oc (1,8 of) di atas suhu tubuh normal dalam siklus 24
jam.

Reaksi-reaksi biologis, semisal gemetar dan berkeringat, serta tindakan-tindakan perilaku dapat
melindungi tubuh dari ekstrem suhu untuk waktu singkat. Akan tetapi dalam kondisi membeku,
ekstremitas tubuh berisiko mengalami masalah serius, misalnya radang beku dalam beberapa menit,
dengan akibat kehilangan jaringan secara permanen. Terlepas dari itu, bahkan meskipun ini terjadi, suhu
inti dalam organ-organ vital dalat dipertahankan cukup lama agar kita bertahan hidup.
